Everyone has wanted the best for Chelsea Green ever since she became the WWE Champion. She’s well on her way to being a top baby face, but what happens when Rhea Ripley is healthy and challenges for the title she never lost? Trick Williams quickly regained his fuzzy belt from Baron Corbin, so let’s celebrate! Penta and Roman Reigns absolutely tore the house down in a brilliant World Heavyweight championship match. And this was shortly after Stephanie Vaquer defeated Liv Morgan for the world title… at a house show of all places. The Main Event: Sami Zayn wins the WWE Championship. CM Punk had enough of Sami Zayn's antics. And he allowed Sami one more shot at the WWE Championship. And after interference from Johnny Gargano, Candace Lerae and Kevin Owens… Sami stood tall and is now a two time WWE Champion. The Three Count:  Danielle put over a top to bottom good RAW. Lindsey put over a guy named Kiyoki. Hal put over The latest pew pew shirt. Keep up with this show all week long on instagram, tiktok and bluesky.

Kofi and Austin Creed debuted this past weekend at AEW’s All In pay-per-view.  It was a long time coming and generally considered wrestling’s worst kept secret, but the possibilities of the pair in a new setting are undeniable. We talk about what we’re looking forward to from their time in AEW. Then, we’ll play a throwback interview that we conducted with Austin where we talked to him about videogames, travel plans and the Golden Girls.  The Three Count:  Lindsey put over a Britt Baker's triumphant return. Julian put over Oba Femi’s return to Alabama. Lindsey put over an angry orange man. Danielle put over Mercedes Mone on the ones and twos.

For as little as $5 a month, you’ll earn great gifts and help this show continue. We were without Lindsey and Danielle last week, but they are back and ready to dive into Kevin Owens coming up short against CM Punk for the WWE championship. The absolute banger of a match was capped off by Sami Zayn’s complete heel moment. Plus, Royce Keys is back, this time with the tag team OTM by his side. What could OTM possibly stand for? There’s a canon answer, but other answers as well. The Main Event: The Lucha Bros.  The past several weeks have featured a tournament of luchadors that will culminate at TripleMania in a World Championship match against Roman Reigns. The finalists are Rey Fenix and Penta who used to tag team in AEW and around the world as The Lucha Brothers. The Three Count:  Danielle put over a a proud African Dad. Lindsey put over an angry orange man. Hal put over the Legend of Dolly Parton. Keep up with this show all week long on instagram, tiktok and bluesky.

    Ep. 497.5: Mini-sode - Why Kevin Owens is amazing

For as little as $5 a month, you’ll earn great gifts and help this show continue. Could it be– a high quality version of Smackdown and RAW? It truly is! Chelsea Green will not only keep her WWE championship, but the risk of her losing it is wisely being used as a path to get her more over with the audience. Not only that, but she also got to go toe to toe on the mic with Gunther!  Plus, we got a RAW full of great matches that was capped off by one of the best Bloodline story beats in recent memories.  The Main Event: Is it time for Kevin Owens to be champion? Kevin Owens has been back for a few weeks and he's already got a WWE Title match. And there are likely a lot of people who are not aware of just how special a performer he is. That's where we come in! The Three Count:  Julian put over a pop punk sermon. Hal put over Lyra Valkyria finding her heeldom. Keep up with this show all week long on instagram, tiktok and bluesky.

    Ep. 497: Where are the Women of WWE?

    This podcast is supported by MaxFun Members! Go to maximumfun.org/jointights for more information about how you can become one too. For as little as $5 a month, you’ll earn great gifts and help this show continue. There’s a lot going on with the women in WWE. Chelsea Green, the new (Interim) WWE Champion fractured her orbital bone in her first night with the title. With Rhea Ripley fresh out of knee surgery, we can only hope that Chelsea’s reign won’t be heavily affected. Tatum Paxley made the jump from NXT to align herself with Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair. Even though Alexa and Charlotte have done well so far as a tag team, is this the best path for all of them? It’s a big question, especially since there are a lot of three-woman teams cropping up lately. The Main Event: The WWE Women’s Roster The women's roster has gotten a big boost in star power lately. In addition to Alexa Bliss making her return this week, Becky Lynch and Stephanie Vaquer both want a shot at Liv's World Championship. But that doesn't mean all is well. We're going to take a look at how the women's roster has been organized lately and if they are set up for success. The Three Count:  Danielle put over the meeting of the delegations. Lindsey put over the airing of Punk and Kevin's grievances! Hal put over Solo being the best Uce on the mic. Keep up with this show all week long on instagram, tiktok and bluesky.
